About the book

'How Much Land Does a Man Need?' is a short story by Leo Tolstoy. A peasant overhears his wife and sister-in-law argue over the merits of town and peasant farm life. He thinks to himself "if I had plenty of land, I shouldn't fear the Devil himself!". Unbeknownst to him, Satan is present sitting behind the stove and listening.
